CHAPTER I
PRELIMINARY
1.1 Background
Natural Resources is the wealth of the earth which has an important role
in people's lives. As one of the important sources of development financing,
the natural resources that exist today are still not felt tangible benefits by most
people. The management of these natural resources has not met the principles
of justice and sustainability. In addition, the environment also receives a high
pollution burden due to the use of natural resources and other human
activities that do not pay attention to environmental preservation. The
distribution of natural resources is not always abundant. There are a number
of limited natural resources, sometimes in the process of its formation
requires a relatively long period of time.
Earth as a place to live for various living things, has natural resources
that can be used to support the life of these living things. Whether we realize
it or not, many of the items we use in our daily lives come from natural
resources around us. Ranging from household appliances, building materials,
agricultural materials, to medicine materials that come from many materials
around us. There are natural materials that can be directly used by humans.
But there are also things that must be processed first before we can use it.
Therefore, there are two types of natural resources, namely renewable
natural resources and non-renewable natural resources. Nature has the ability
to provide life for the world's population.

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
Biotic and abiotic factors in the environment can affect and be influenced
by humans. Everything in the environment can affect the human environment.
However, the environment can be managed and developed by humans in
order to meet their needs. In daily life, what is meant by natural resources are
humans, animals, plants, water, air, soil, minerals, sunlight, and others.
From a number of definitions of natural resources that have been put
forward by some of the experts above it can be concluded that natural
resources can be interpreted as all materials found by humans in nature that
can be used for the benefit of life both biotic and abiotic.

2.2 Classification of Natural Resources
In general, natural resources are classified into some types, namely:
1. Renewable Resources
This natural resource is said to be this way because nature can hold
reshapes in a relatively short period of time. These natural resources are
formed in 2 ways, namely:
a) Formation by Reproduction
Occurs in biological natural resources. Can continue to grow in a fast
time even though the management is not right, but these natural
resources can also become extinct and once these natural resources
become extinct, nature cannot shape it anymore.
b) Formation Due to a Cycle
Some natural resources such as water and air occur in cycles or
processes. With this cycle too, these natural resources can be renewed.
Several things can reduce the quality and quantity of these expanded
natural resources, including:
1) Air pollution (decrease in atmospheric quality).
2) Deforestation (loss of quality and quantity of ground water).
2. Unrenewable Resources
This natural resource has a relatively fixed amount or it can be said that
the amount is getting smaller. This is because the formation of natural
resources requires a very long time span so that these natural resources can
be used up. Examples such as minerals, petroleum, natural gas, and other
fossil natural resources.
Non-renewable natural resources are differentiated according to their
usability and consumptive value, namely:
a) Natural Resources That Do Not Run Out Quickly
Not quickly depleted because of the human consumptive value of
natural resources is relatively small in number. For example diamonds
or gemstones.
b) Natural Resources are Quickly Depleted
Quickly run out because of the human consumptive value of natural
resources is relatively large in number. Examples of natural gas and oil.
6
The purpose of natural resources based on economic value is that the
resources used are seen from the value of its use. These natural resources
are divided into 3, namely:
a. High Economical Natural Resources
The natural resources, to get it, need a large enough cost so that not
all people can get it. For example: minerals and precious metals such as
gold, silver and diamond.
b. Low Economic Natural Resources
This natural resource is a resource that is needed to obtain it which
is relatively inexpensive or relatively affordable by various groups of
people. For example: sand and stone.
c. Non-Economic Natural Resources
To obtain it no cost at all. For example: air, sunlight and heat
b. Wind
In this era, the use of petroleum, coal, and various types of fuel
from mining products began to be replaced by the use of energy
produced by wind. The wind is able to produce energy using turbines
which are generally placed at a height of more than 30 meters in the
highlands. In addition to its renewable and always-present sources, the
energy produced by the wind is far cleaner than the residue generated
by other fuels in general. Some countries that have applied wind
turbines as alternative energy sources are the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom. The benefits of wind are as follows:
Wind Power Plants.
Direct the sailboat to the sea.
Clean the ventilation chamber at home.
Cool the body.
The layer of air that surrounds the earth, the atmosphere and
the atmosphere. There is an ozone layer that serves to protect
the earth from ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun.
c. Soil
Land is a component of the surface of the earth. Land is one of the
non-biological natural resources that is important to support
population growth and as a food source for various types of living
things. The growth of agricultural and plantation crops is directly
related to the level of fertility and soil quality. Soil is composed of
several components, such as air, water, minerals, and organic
compounds. The management of non-biological resources has become
very important given the rapid increase in the world's population and
the conditions of environmental pollution that exist today.
d. Mining products
Mining natural resources have a variety of functions for human
life, such as basic infrastructure, motor vehicles, energy sources, as
9
well as jewelry. Various types of extracted materials have great
economic value and this triggers the exploitation of these natural
resources. Some countries, such as Indonesia and Arabia, have
enormous revenues from this sector. The amount is very limited,
therefore its use must be carried out efficiently. Some examples of
mining materials and their uses:
1) Petroleum and Natural Gas
Petroleum and natural gas are very beneficial for human daily
life. The results of the processing of petroleum can be used as
fuel, both at household, industrial and vehicle fuel. Petroleum can
also be used as raw material for the petrochemical industry.
As for other uses of oil and natural gas, as follows:
Avtur for aircraft fuel.
Gasoline for motor vehicle fuel.
Kerosene as a raw material for oil lamps.
Diesel fuel for diesel vehicles.
LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) for gas stove fuels.
Oil is an ingredient for engine oil.
Vaseline is an ointment for medicinal ingredients.
Paraffin for wax-making materials.
Asphalt for road building materials (produced on Buton
Island).
2) Coal, used for industrial and household fuels.
3) Iron ore, for household appliances, agriculture and others.
4) Copper, a type of metal which is yellowish in color, soft and easy
to forge.
5) Bauxite, as a basic material for making aluminum.
6) Gold and Silver, for jewelry.
7) Marble, for building materials for houses or buildings
8) Sulfur, for medicinal ingredients for skin diseases and matches

1) Reforestation and Reforestation Forest reforestation and reforestation
efforts can prevent environmental damage related to water, soil and
air.
2) Swales or terraces.
3) Development of watersheds.
4) Waste water management.
5) Control of waste disposal.
Based on the Reducing Principle
In taking natural resources should not all be taken, but only reduce the
principle. Taken spent will damage the environment and disrupt the
ecosystem of the environment.
Based on the Recycling Principle
The process of recycling is the reprocessing of a mass or used materials
in the form of dry waste that has no economic value into goods that are
useful for human life.
There are 2 waste management systems namely formal and informal
management systems
1) Formal management system
Namely the collection of transportation and disposal carried out by
local authorities such as the Department of Sanitation and Planting.
2) Informal management system.
Ie the activities carried out by encouraging the need for life of some
people. They unconsciously participate in the cleanliness of the city
and they are actually also environmentalists.

3.1 Conclusions
Based on the discussion that we have compiled, it can be concluded:
1. Natural Resources are all the wealth of the earth, both biotic and abiotic,
which can be utilized to meet human needs and human well-being.
2. The classification of natural resources can be divided into two, namely
renewable natural resources (Renewable resources) and natural resources
that cannot be renewed (Unrenewable resources).
3. Utilization of natural resources has a role in meeting human needs. To
facilitate the assessment, the utilization of natural resources is divided
based on its origin, namely natural and non-biological natural resources.
4. Natural resource management needs to be preserved in order to support the
life of living things.
5. Damage to natural resources occurs when there is an imbalance between
the population and the supply of natural resources.
6. Preservation of natural resources and the environment to maintain and care
for this natural environment as well as possible so that the natural
resources on this earth will not be used up.
3.2 Suggestions
Based on the preparation of this paper, we provide advice to all members of
the community, especially students, so that natural resources can be managed
properly, then experts are treated with special education and expertise, and
this is an effort that must be considered by the government in efforts to
improve quality and yield quantity. The use of natural resources should not be
over-exposed because not all natural resources can be renewed. The
importance of the role of natural resources in sustainable development,
without avoiding the extinction of the natural resources themselves. Therefore
there is a need for management and control through a variety of tangible
businesses.
